LAS RS New Parking Meters Bring Revenue But Spark Complaints Village coffers have been enriched by $136.62 since Port Perry's new parking met- ers began ticking away on' July 4. And this amount represents only the 10-day period to July 14 and doesn't take into account revenue from parking tickets that have yet to come. Don Loscombe, bylaw enforcement officer, reports that to July 18 he had issued about 50 tickets for violations. Of these he has mailed sum- monses for about 30 yet to be paid. He has also cancelled about 14 tickets because motorists unawaringly deposited dimes. The meters accept only 5-cent (nickels) and 25-cent (quarters) coins and Mr. Los- combe will be attachingspecial labels to the meters to emph- asize this, People using the metersare required to deposit five cents for each half hour of parking up to a maximum of 10 hours, COMPLAINTS _ Mr. Loscombe says thc ~ most frequent complaint he gets from motorists is that the meters won't accept "dimes "as they do in most other municipalities", He also hears complaints about the meters operating on Sundays. "I point out to them that the meters were installed mainly because of the heavy Sunday use of the park and dock facilities," said Mr. Los- combe. Continual showing of the Violation flag is also causing some confusion among meter 'users, according to the bylaw enforcement officer. Those parking for a short duration see the violation flag covering most of the meter's (Continued on Page 15) | \_ Vol. 105 -- Port Perry, Ont., Thurs, July 30, 1970 -- No. 40° Closure Of Pool Forces Equipment Installation Birdseye swimming pool is expected to be ré-opened this week-end. The pool was ordered closed 'two weeks ago by Dr. J.E. Watt, director of the Oshawa County District Health Unit, after inspections on July 8 and July 13. Dr. Watt informed Port Perry council that on "both occasions no residual of free available "chlorine could be Bedroom Hit By Lightning The home of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Howell' on the 14th Concession of Reach was struck by lightning Monday evening during an electrical storm. The lightning apparently followed the electric wiring to the outlet in the bedroom and continued up a lamp cord to the dresser. } - The mirror was destroyed and a large hole burnt through the top of the dresser and into the drawers below. Mr. Howell who was in the house at the time managed to extinguish the blaze. The local fire department was called to the scene as a pre- caution. to check for further damage. = detected and the clarity of the pool was extremely poor". The health director pointed out that the pool lacked a chlorination system and had no. filtering device. Under the Public Health Act a pool is required to have a residual of free available chlorine of not less than .5 parts per million and be sufficiently clear to permit a, black disc, six inches in diameter, located at the deep- est point in the pool to be clearly visible at a distance of 30 feet. Last week Port Perry works department crew was working at the pool installing the new filtering-chlorinating = system and the pool should be open for the week-end. Meanwhile, the village is refunding the money paid for season tickets and lifeguards are performing maintenance work about the pool.

Vacation For Star Employees The Port Perry Star office and plant will be closed for summer vacation from Friday, July 31 until Monday, August 10. The next issue of the Star will be published on Thursday, August 13. Fowl Play Claim Laid Fowl play is being called against the Village by Chalet Farms Ltd. The firm claims the bumpy roads hereabouts are indirectly responsible for the early demise of about $200 worth of its chickens. The birds apparently succumbed while being bounced over a section of Union Ave. in a truck and the firm wants compen- sation. But Village council feels this is the responsibility of the contractor and has forwarded the bill to Clair- son Construction Ltd. STUDIES CLAUSES Council Wades Into Sewer Bylaw The village is well on its way to establishing a sewer connection and control bylaw. At the counéil meeting last Wednesday members, along with representatives from Canadian Mitchell and Assoc- iates, the consulting engineer- ing firm representing the Ont- ario Water Resources Com- mission, waded through a the proposed 39-odd bylaw. This took about 3% hours of council's time as the language in the bylaw and some of the policies to be contained had to be thought out precisely. Among some clauses dis- cussed was one dealing with the time period council would permit residents to hook up part to the system and another on what to do about abandoned septic tanks after connection. Most councillors favored a two-year period for the connection with the provis- ion of a stiff fine for those who fail to hook up within this period. A period of grace would be considered for those with legitimate excuses. (Continued on Page 16) ER ac PW ore SCape~----, Dre, OFS Mn SAT ; rea A Pa Puan -- SRE >
